TheCalifornia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Thefiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during

the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.

MICROWAVEOVEN

Read and foflow the specific "Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure ToExcessive Microwave

Energy" section in this manual.

Toreduce the risk of firein the ovencavity:

....Do not over-cook food. Carefl]lly attend

appliance if paper, plastic or other
combustible materials are placed inside
the oven to facilitate cooking.

.....Remove wire twist-ties from paper or

plastic containers before placing bags

in oven.

.....Do not use your microwave oven to diy

newspapers.

.....Do not pop popcorn in your microwave

oven unless in a special microwave
popcorn accesso U or unless you use
popcorn labeled for use in microwave

ovens.

.....Do not over-cook potatoes. They could

dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage
to your oven.

.....Do not operate the oven while empty to

avoid damage m the oven and the danger
of fire. Ifby accident the oven should run
empty a minute or two, no harm is done.
However, Uy m avoid operating the oven
empty at any time-it saves energy and
prolongs the life of the oven.

.....Do not use the oven for storage purposes.

Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not

in use.

.....ffmaterials inside the oven should i_fite,

keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and
disconnect the power cord, or shut off
power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Ifthe door is opened, the fire may spread.

.....This microwave oven is not approved or

tested for marine use.

4

.....Some products such as whole eggs and

sealed containers-for example, closed

,jars-will explode and should not be

heated in this microwave oven. Such use of
the microwave oven could result in in,juU.

.....Do not operate the microwave oven

without the turntable and support in place.

.....Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even

with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is

thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute
the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent
scalding when warming formula or breast
milk. The container may feel cooler than
the milk really is. Ahvays test the milk
before feeding the baby.

.....Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven.

Pressure will build up inside the egg

yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly

resulting in in,juU.

.....Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as

potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples,
chicken livers and other giblets, and egg

yolks should be pierced to allow steam to

escape during cooking.
Don't deflost flozen beverages in narrow-

necked bottles (especially carbonated
beverages). Even if the container is
opened, pressure can build up. This can
cause the container to burst, possibly
resulting in in,juU.

Hot foods and steam can cause burns.
Be careful when opening any containers

of hot food, including popcorn bags,
cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent
possible inju U, direct steam away flom

hands and face.

.....As with any appliance, close supei_4sion is

necessa U when used bychildren.

casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does
not have metallic trim or glaze with ametallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled

"suitable for microwaving. "

.....ffyou are not sure it a dish is microwave-

safe, use this test: Place in the oven both
the dish you are testing and a glass

measuring cup filled with 1 cup of water-
set the measuring cup either in or next to
the dish. Microwave 1 minute at high.

If the dish heats, it should not be used

for microwaving.

If the dish remains cool and only the water
in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-
safe.

.....ffyou use a meat thermometer while

cooking, make sure it is safe for use in
microwave ovens.

.....Do not use recycled paper products.

Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed
paper can contain metal flecks which may
cause arcing or ignite. Paper products
containing nylon or nylon filaments should
be avoided, as they may also ignite.

.....Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat

is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal
embedded in the bottom. When

microwaved, the metal can burn the floor
of the oven or ignite a paper towel.

.....Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in

microwave ovens. Check the package for
proper use.

.....Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic

wrap can be used to cover dishes in order

to retain moisture and prevent spattering.
Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam

can escape.

.....Oversized food or oversized metal

cookware should not be used in a
microwave oven. Electrical shock or

fire could occur.

.....While paper plates may be used for timed

cooking and defiosting, do not use them

with Aura Sensor cooking. Use microwave-

safe plates or bowls for reheating. Cover

with plastic wrap.

.....Cookware may become hot because

of heat transferred flom the heated

food. Pot holders may be needed to

handle the cookware.

.......Boilable" cooking pouches and tightly

closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced
or vented as directed by package. If they
are not, plastic could burst during or
immediately after cooking, possibly

resulting in inju U. Also, plastic storage

containers should be at least partially
uncovered because they form a tight seal.

When cooking with containers tightly

covered with plastic wrap, remove
covering carefully and direct steam
away fiom hands and face.

.....Use foil only as dhected in this manual. TV

dinners may be microwaved in foil uays less
than 3/4" high; remove the top foil cover
and return the tr W to the box. When using

foil in the microwave oven, keep the foil at

least 1 inch aww fiom the sides of the oven.

.....Plastic cookware-Plastic cookware

designed for microwave cooking isvei7
useful, but should be used carefully.
Even microwave-safe plastic may not
be as tolerant of ove>cooking conditions
as are glass or ceramic materials and
may soften or char it subjected to short
periods of ove>cooking. In longer
exposures m ove>cooking, the food
and cookware could ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

[Z] Use microwave-safe plastics only and

use them in strict compliance with the
cookware manufacturer's

recommendations.
Do not microwave empty containers.

f-_ Do not permit children to use

plastic cookware without complete
supei_,ision.

WARNING!

ARCING

Ifyou see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFFpad and correct the problem.

Arcing is the microwave termfor sparks in the
oven.Arcing is caused by:

Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

.....Foil not molded to food (upturned edges

act like antennas).

.....Metal, such as twist-ties, poulu T pins, or

goM-rimmed dishes, in the microwave.

.....Recycled paper towels containing small

metal pieces being used in the microwave.

SUPERHEATEDWATER

Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point.

They can actually get super heated and not bubble at all.

Super heated liquid will bubble up out of the
cup when it ismoved or when something like
a spoon or tea bag is put into it.

To prevent this fiom happening and causing
i_ju U, do not heat aW liquid for more than 2
minutes per cup.

Atter heating, let the cup stand in the
microwave for 30 seconds before m(Mng it or
putting awthing into it.

Spontaneousboiling

Under certain special circumstances, liquids

may start to boil during or shortly after removal

from the microwave oven.

To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we
recommend the following: before removing

the container fiom the oven:

....Allow the container to stand in the oven for

30 to 40 seconds after the oven has shut off.

.....Do not boil liquids in narrow-necked

containers such as soft drink bottles, wine

flasks and especially narrow-necked coffee

cups. Even if the container is opened,
excessive steam can build up and cause it

to burst or overflow.

ALLTHESETHINGSARENORMALWITHYOURMICROWAVE

How to Set Your Microwave Using the Auto Sensor Controls

The Auto Sensor Controls allow you to

cook most of your f:avorite fbods without
hax_ng to select cooking times and power

levels. Byusing the Aura Sensor Conu'ols,

REHEAT,AUTODEFROSTand POPCORN

pads, your microwave does all the work
for you.

The Auto Sensor Conu'ols work by

detecdng a build-up of steam on the
sensor. As fbods cook smam is produced.

When the steam is demcted by the sensor,

the oven automadcally calculates the

remaining cooking time. This method

takes all the guesswork out of cooking.

When the fbods have cooked, tt_e control

automatically shuts offthe oven.
